Why Catch a Monkey?

Monkeys are closely related to humans, what with them all being primates. This means that monkeys can lead you to food or to water, warn you of impendingdoom from some big cat etc. If the worst comes to the worst, monkey makes good eating. Hmmmm, not so long pig

The most common use is to make the monkey take you to water. Monkeys and primates living in hot places, makes water a natural resource to be treasured. So how to make the monkey tell you where water is? Well tie it up for three or four hours in the baking sun, or tie it up and feed it some salt, if you happen to have any, and leave for half an hour. Both work well. Once released the beastie will run almost straight to water. So be quick, or keep it on a leash.
